Glycemic trends of T2D from metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities of India have been less studied and hence, were evaluated during the second year of LANDMARC trial (a 3-year nationwide prospective observational study; CTRI/2017/05/008452) . A total of 5318 of 6234 evaluable participants with T2D taking ≥2 antihyperglycemic medications (with/without glycemic control) completed 2-year follow-up visit. The age, T2D duration, baseline A1C were comparable across participants from metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities. At 2-year, a decrease in all glycemic parameters was noted. There was a noticeable improvement in A1C levels from baseline in participants from metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities (mean [95% CI]: −0.5% [−0.6, −0.4] and −0.7% [−0.8, −0.6]; p=0.0450, respectively) . Almost, one-third of the participants in metropolitan (491/16[30.6%]) and non-metropolitan (806/2280 [35.4%]) cities achieved glycemic control (A1C <7%) . No significant difference in change from baseline between metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities was noted for FPG (p=0.3408) and PPG (p=0.6890) (Table) . Overall, participants from both metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities showed marked improvement in all glycemic parameters from baseline to the end of 2 years. These results help compare the longitudinal glycemic patterns among participants with T2D in cities across India.
